Hi,
I'm going to practise quilting today (after dog walk in the wind and rain) and want to know from you helpful people if there is a button/thingy on my machine Pfaff Expression-fab piece of kit) that I can use to start and finish my line/pattern (not FMQ yet) or do I bring up the bobbin thread at the beginning and hide it by sewing it back in when I've finished?? Hopeful of help from you lovely lot. Annie |
I have an Expressions 3.0 and am able to program an automatic tie-off at the beginning of the seam and push a button to do one at the end of the seam. I'm sure it could be done for FMQ also though I don't do that yet either!
In my manual its called "Tie-Off". Hope you have one! I still pull up my bobbin thread to start off. |
Many thanks,
I've managed to suss it out with your help. I'm practising and practising and it seems to be working out pretty well. Thanks again, Annie |
I just got my Expressions a couple of weeks ago so I'm learning too! Had an old Pfaff before and love the machine. Only wish I could afford the 4.0 to get the pressure foot lifter and low-bobbin warning.
Enjoy your day! Time I was in my bed - it's 3:00am here in Southern Washington State. |
Thanks for messaging me so late Kitsie, hope you're tucked up and sleeping now. My quilting is going so well now and I've even started on my quilt. Will post a photo when I've done a bit more.
I have a Pfaff 1471 which is still going strong and I use it for classes becuase I don't want to haul my Expression around. I'm a lucky lady. Thanks again from across the water, Annie |
Morning Annie! My old Pfaff is an 1196 and I can't find a year on it! I'd need a forklift to haul it to a class.
Sipping my morning tea before doing more quilting on a GD's quilt. Enjoy! |
